My aunt Beth’s birthday was last week, and she requested that I make Soggy Granny Cake, a family recipe passed to us from my Grandma’s best friend Wendy. This cake is amazing! It’s a super moist chocolate cake with a gooey, fudgey frosting that seeps into the cake. It stands second only to my Mom’s secret chocolate cake with red velvet frosting, the fabulousness of which I’m sure has more to do with the maker than the recipe.

Warning: I doubled the frosting this time around, so if you want the cake to come out as overly gooey as pictured, you’d better do the same.
